I guess majority of them don't.
Including me..well, sometimes...
Mainly because they contribute weight to my wallet, and then make it bulky?
Anyway, that's not the point.
I like keeping coins though I don't like to hold coins, sometimes. (wth?)
See right, I always have contradictions, and I contradict myself countless time.
It's normal...(it's one of my weirdo-ness)
So, the main reason that I like keeping coins and holding them is because
they are ESSENTIAL!!! and they SAVED my day, few times.
Do you know the importance of a 10cent or a 20cent
Might not be relevant to you, but I see the importance of it =)
Coins are essential because I use them to pay toll.
Unlike you people who got endless credit of touch&go or smart tag,
I pay cash when passing tolls. Oh yea? Big deal?
Look, LDP toll is RM1.60
But most of the time I pay rm2, because I don't have 60cents.
For me, the toll wouldn't me rm1.60 anymore but rm2. Huh?
Say, my wallet has rm10
when I take out rm2 for toll, the balance will be rm8
but if I pay the exact amount, the balance will be rm9
The thing is, coins are not counted in your wallet
Which I think it's the same for many people.
I mean, how often you know or count the exact amount of coins you have in your wallet?
See my theory now?

If is not for coins, I would probably ended up in washing dishes...
They saved me from washing dishes, twice to be exact.
Once was when Carmen and I suddenly decided to eat steamboat while we were on the way home to her's. We stopped and got down from the bus at Puteri 7, our usual spot for steamboat (high school days).
The money we had was just enough for both of us to eat and an upgrade to herbal soup.
If my memory is right, we both paid using rm1 and rm5 notes and COINS, till the extent where 5 cents and 1 cent were used.
The other one was when Carmen, Ruey, Shan, and me went for steamboat at meizi. (yes, steamboat again)
We planned this, we knew our budget, and we were to eat accordingly.
But somehow, we miscalculated while ordering.
The bill came, short of money, but thank God for COINS, which saved our day.
At the end of the meal, our pockets were empty, all we had was 70cents? (after combining our remaining coins) so that Carmen could catch a bus home (we don't want her to walk home alone), she didnt but walked home instead. The remaining 3? well, we walked home together to Wawasan.
See how COINS saved my day?
Lastly, Coins prevent me from getting rip off by cab drivers.
Why so?
Say if your trip cost rm6.40 and you pay rm7 or rm10?
The cab driver will not give change for the former and change of rm3 for the after.
It's similar to my paying toll theory, and I'll feel cheated if I have to pay extra than the exact amount.
Since then, I've always believed in paying the exact amount if I ever take a cab.
My conclusion is
COINS are ESSENTIAL
and
they are VERY HANDY
COINS are ESSENTIAL
and
they are VERY HANDY
I shall remain holding coins and keeping them
You never know when you gonna need them =)
